Fulham sit two points above West Brom in the table by virtue of their opening-day win at Sunderland, but followed up the victory with defeats at home to Arsenal and away to Newcastle United.
Deadline-day recruit Elsad Zverotic could make his debut at right-back if Sascha Riether is unavailable after picking up a knock in the loss at St James' Park, while goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg faces a late fitness test on a shoulder problem.
Kieran Richardson (hamstring) is still out, but Alexander Kacaniklic and Fernando Amorebieta could be in line for a return to Martin Jol's first-team plans after playing for Sweden and Venezuela respectively during the international break.

WEST BROM SQUAD

West Brom head coach Steve Clarke may field his transfer deadline day signings when he takes his side to Fulham.
Albion have only taken one point from their three Barclays Premier League matches so far but have since acquired Stephane Sessegnon, Victor Anichebe and Morgan Amalfitano.
The game may come too soon for Anichebe, who lacks match fitness, but fellow forward Sessegnon and midfielder Amalfitano have a good chance of starting. Midfielder James Morrison (groin) is a doubt while goalkeeper Ben Foster (foot) and striker Matej Vydra (hamstring) are definitely missing. Steven Reid, Zoltan Gera and George Thorne are still working their way back to full fitness.
